Play play play! Surfing takes a light wood board, body surfing takes um, having a body, diving in requires a slightly higher place to dive from, etc. No ski-doos, scuba gear, Evinrudes required, most fun in the forests and fields and water take little or no equipment at all. It's the fun we were built to have.
I play "Storm the House" on addictinggames.com, so I guess I've been trained on how to kill vast armies of stick people...by clicking on them with my mouse Evil or Very Mad .
If the army ever needs to wipe out a legion or two of stick figures from a computer screen, I'm their man.

Power shortage plagues South Asia Sunday 28 May 2006, 6:17 Makka Time, 3:17 GMT:
As South Asia enjoys unprecedented economic growth, soaring summer temperatures have highlighted a chronic shortage of electricity that is crippling enterprise and leaving millions to suffer without any hope of respite.
From India, the world's second fastest growing major economy after China, to impoverished Bangladesh, which has enjoyed 5% annual growth since the early 1990s, governments are plagued by the problem of growing demand for power combined with inadequate supply. In Bangladesh, where nearly half the 140 million population still gets by on less than a dollar a day, the anger of farmers unable to get power to irrigate their crops has led to violent clashes and the death of at least 17 people.
Meanwhile business leaders have warned that the shortages threaten the nearly 20% growth in the garment industry. The sector constitutes more than three-fourths of the country's total exports. Earlier this month almost half of Bangladesh was plunged into darkness for several hours as the national electricity grid tripped shutting down most of the country's power generation units.
"I felt like we had gone back to the dark ages. Normal life was really disturbed," said Sabita Shrestha, a 19-year old management student from Kathmandu.

What about the other 64% directly dirived from oil for transport ? Even if this electricity ramp up can be done, the economy is still finished.
I fully expect it to be attempted whatever happens (emphasis on attempt), but the most it will do is keep lights running, at a huge cost to the environment.
